Britian switching to CFLs
Britian’s environment ministry said it will begin phasing out incandescent bulbs and switching to more eco-friendly CFLs.
Britian is attempting to cut 5 million tonnes of carbon by 2012 and this is one step along the way.
The British government has been working with manufacturers and retailers to provide options to customers.
As of yet this remains a voluntary switch, but there has been talk of creating mandatory initiatives, as we’ve seen in Australia and even the US.
It’s great to see another country promoting the switch to energy efficient lighting, and it’s been surprising how well these new bulbs have been received.
LED lights are also on the rise, and are due to compete with CFLs in the near future. Stay ahead of the game and read our review of LED lights and bulbs.
